In previous
parts I and II, our truth glasses revealed that in some part, the media is
responsible for baiting our intellect with key words that tune us in, give us
something to talk about and for some, express what they hadn’t been able to
once before, except there was major looting and violence to accompany it. We learned what it means to be racist in view
and the differences in racism and being a racist, using vast resources we have
uncovered a trend, this trend is now the focus within our United States and in
the time it took me to finalize this three part series, more things have came
to the forefront and not even being stopped by what is supposed to be the
celebration of peaceful times, good tidings and many gifts to exchange from all
that mad mall dashing. Unrest is
abundant, many important items in our truth glass range, which is in part the
reason I delayed release of this article until after Christmas, let’s face it,
we really need a rest from all this unrest.
We have seen that the justice system, once applied in generic form can
apply to almost anyone and that we ourselves are the masters of decision when
it comes to the process of justice, judgment and true influence within our
Government’s system. With our material
desires now satisfied this day thanks in part to Saint Nicholas, let us truly
sink our teeth into this tornado of turmoil.

According to
Merriam-Webster online dictionary, unrest can be defined as either: 1) A
situation in which many of the people in a country are angry and hold protests
or act violently, or 2) A disturbed or uneasy state, reference to Turmoil. Looking at the previous articles, applying
them accordingly, we see that both definitions are met. Many of the people within this country held
and / or are holding protests and this includes acting violently, burning
property, attacking neighborhoods and most recently, ambush killing two New
York police officers just because they had on the uniform. A uniform that
represents to many, safety - and every day the fine men and women who put on
that uniform have to face the reality that there are some out there who wish to
do them harm, thereby, this puts those persons lives on the line each time they
go to work, protecting us as best they can against millions of people and
helping us to have some direction and civility.
How many horrible accidents have you seen where the police didn’t set up
some parameter to keep motorists flowing around the injured, or pushing the
public back to safe distances when hostages are taken (prayers for you
Australia). The same can be said about
the young lives lost, “I can’t breathe” chants and laying down protesting (a
bit crazy, yet effective in message).
The intensity of grief, compounded by the loss of one’s family member,
brother, son, daughter or child brought on at the hands of those sworn to
uphold the law, which includes “blind justice” or those who wish to kill them,
remember they too are someone’s son, brother or daughter. It must seem ironic or out of sorts, doesn’t
fit what the people want or what they know to be true. Television, Newspapers, Social Media outlets one
and all, then becomes the lightning rod, people acting at their worst, the
pictures of news and parodies meant to antagonize, and then, compromise,
healthy debates all this while the hurt still lingers on both sides, taking a
life or losing a life, both have permanent effects.

We as a
nation of citizens from all backgrounds and professionalisms, must remember
that unrest and counter action have been a staple in this countries growth and
that each time these things come to the forefront rather than be swept away in
the lime light, the compromise part is rarely remembered, while the violent
outbreaks and protesting with prosecution of individuals is remembered. For example, Pennsylvania Mutiny of 1783, the
Doctors Mob Riot in 1788, the Cincinnati Riots of 1829, the anti immigration
Philadelphia Nativists Riots of 1844, Ludlow Massacre in 1914, Tulsa Race Riot
in 1921 as well as Ax Handle Saturday in Florida around 1960 are all classic
examples of the results of unrest and rioting as well as the history our
country has shown in each case. In fact,
the list is so long, that many of the readers of this article will only clearly
remember as far back as the Rodney King beatings while a shrinking population
will also easily remember Dr. King and even the President, JFK. In each decade of growth as a nation with
brighter ideas and bigger hopes for our future, it seems the unrest is growing
or is it truly, with the tons of examples, this author sees this as what is
needed in order for greater things to come and for peace to be born from it, a
controlling of our Media’s tongues and rhetoric, that is to say if we want
better outcomes, give us better examples to follow such as reporting the truth
about the situation and not over analyzing things with too many persons, but
first, before that can happen, we must stop taking advantage of the innocent,
becoming the very same thieves and ‘crooks’ we claim our oppressors to be; We
MUST stop the violent outbreaks and the labeling of citizens based on their ethnicity
or what we perceive about them, we must stop the threats and counter threats of
“oh yeah” style rhetoric, we are not a barbaric society, we are all human. We know clearly who our enemies are and they
are not our neighbors or the store owner who had to board up windows which didn’t
stop the looting, our enemies are ourselves, we are so busy agreeing with what
the majority labels and feed off of the hype and flash of ‘who’s who’ and ‘this
is happening here and it’s so important so pay attention and get mad’; look
around your own circle of friends, what are people talking about, which
platform does it come from, who do you believe?

Believing in
what we are fed, is part of how we acquire knowledge, we trust those outlets to
provide us the facts based on what is known, without circumvention into an
oblique and non important focus, such as the example we saw in the witnesses at
the Grand Jury hearing for Mr. Brown’s case.
Some of those witnesses provided information that was totally false,
which inflamed the public’s view of all the tragedy going on, people were made
instantly famous in the flash of a camera’s eye and the fight for popularity
versus clarity came out, including the good reverend Al Sharpton, who in this authors
opinion, has his priorities a bit wrong, Mr. Sharpton, you cannot just show up
when the cameras are around and then look as though you are doing all you can
to help, there are many who need it without those cameras and without regard to
color, stop applauding old world thinking of black versus white with standing
up for your ‘brother’ or the oppressing is still going on, we know it is, stop
yelling, help us all by teaching us how to fix the things that are wrong, make
them apply equally, not one sided or how about more standing up for all mankind,
the same could be said of all of us, this means seeing beyond labels, viewing
our fellow man based on their actions, character or circumstances and realizing
they are human.

I am certain
that even the group, Anonymous, would agree that justice is often times
overlooked because of missed obvious details and that public opinion does way
heavy on the minds of persons, I do applaud them for their recent trend of
events with the exception of this small bit of a request, please stop going
after celebrities with sex tapes, I and other know that sex sells and nothing
sells like juicy secrets or a bit of smack em with some humility, just saying
we got enough of that with Kim’s Ass plastered everywhere, you seen one, you
seen em all, but please do keep up the fight to protect our 2nd
Amendment rights to view cinema items without worry of what some other world
leader has to say or attempts to do (allegedly), your collective mind is sharp
and full of the same citizens ears that we here at Criminology and Justice
Digital Media US Inc also enjoy, we both know what is wanted by the people, the
plain and simple truth about things, my hat’s off to you, well done on a few
levels. I am sure many of you came here
to read example after example of the unrest within our world and what our truth
glasses would reveal about it all, here is your answer.

What we have
learned through this series and reflection upon the dominating stories that
flood our headlines, is that we are victims of our own society, freely being
baited by the free press who is focused on profits at most any cost not just
including the race labels they use freely, by employing persons to get on
camera and say what the public desires to hear, meaning, dirty laundry to
gossip over, to let ruin great friendships and to let influence our very cores
of decision making all while making fun in secret of the paparazzi. We all just
knew OJ was guilty, we all saw it, right?
Your truth glasses should have taught you that we are all a small part
of a great big planet, each with our own outlooks, ideas and thirst for what is
right versus what is popular, your own research should show that police
officers go through vigorous training and screening processes and are taught to
trust almost no one, the world is a hard place, criminals make it that way. We
should have learned that sadly, without labels, we have no one to point a
finger at, or point out that circumstances are a specific way or twisted a
specific outcome, remember our general example in part II, I ask again, who did
you see? One side must win, the other
lose and within a strained criminal justice system, many things can go
misunderstood, especially if flaunted around loosely, remember our defined
example of homicide, it’s not just a term for a murder or killing. The unrest in our society will only be
contained when “We the People” decide to set aside our violent acts, come to
the table to compromise a new direction and show up when votes mean voices. I
love the United States of America, for all it is, was and will become, a great
nation with a people whose will to live freely supersedes the will to commit
violent acts of crime or other vicious outcries without at first voicing their
opinions in venue’s long since established since its founding.

Quotes

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. ~ Edmund Burke

That which we persist in doing becomes easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

An informed citizenry is the only true repository of the public will. ~ Thomas Jefferson

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. ~Steve Jobs US computer engineer & industrialist (1955 - 2011 )
